Apparently, a person's political history does give some context to their posts.

More's the pity, though. It looks like you spent a lot of time on that post.
This is the issue. You assumed a negative connotation with the phrase "Obamanomics." I don't, and didn't intend it to have one. If you would have questioned what I meant by the remark then I could have kindly explained it to you, but you jumped to your own conclusion, which led you to insult my intelligence and mock me.

Which is fine, but those are waters that I do not tread.

I do believe that the polarization of our country is one of the greatest domestic threats that we face today. I try my very best to practice what I preach, by not engaging in that polarization.
